Modern healthcare facilities rely on multiple medical gas and pipeline systems operating continuously across different technical and clinical areas. Medical air stations, vacuum systems, oxygen supply equipment and other installations require constant supervision, while technical personnel need direct access to reliable information regarding their operating condition.
The C1-T1 Alarm Touch Panel by G. Samaras has been developed as a centralized monitoring hub for these systems. Through a single touchscreen interface, it collects and displays real-time operational data, providing hospital personnel with a clear overview of connected installations and enabling faster identification of alarms, faults and abnormal operating conditions. It resembles a small BMS system dedicated to medical gases alarm panels.
Centralized Real-Time Monitoring
The C1-T1 brings information from multiple systems together within one monitoring environment.
Depending on the configuration of the installation, the panel can display key parameters such as:
Pressure levels
Temperature measurements
System operating status
Equipment conditions
Alarm and fault signals
Measurements from external devices
Services flags
Graphic
Change of parameters
Remote management
Integration of different devices through Modbus over TCP/IP
By consolidating this information, users can supervise connected equipment without having to move between multiple independent monitoring interfaces. Whenever an alarm or fault occurs, the system generates visual and audible notifications, helping authorized personnel quickly identify the affected system and respond accordingly. The touchscreen interface is designed to provide straightforward navigation, supporting efficient daily use by hospital technical personnel and reducing unnecessary complexity when accessing system information.
Custom Mimic Diagrams and Flexible Display
A key feature of the C1-T1 is its custom-designed mimic diagrams. Rather than presenting information only through lists or numerical values, the interface can visually represent the systems being monitored. Each mimic diagram can be developed according to the actual configuration and requirements of the healthcare facility. This makes it easier for users to understand the status of the installation and locate the source of an alarm or abnormal condition.
The display can also be customized to present the information most relevant to each facility, allowing the C1-T1 to be adapted to different projects rather than relying on a fixed interface.
The display can range from 15’’ to 32’’ according to the project specs.
Communication and External Data Integration
The C1-T1 communicates with connected systems through the hospital's Local Area Network (LAN) via Ethernet, retrieving operational information from equipment located across the facility.
In addition to Ethernet connectivity, the system supports expanded hardware interfaces, including RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication protocols. These interfaces allow compatible external measurements to be incorporated into the monitoring environment, including data such as power consumption.
This flexibility enables the C1-T1 to function as more than a conventional alarm panel. It can serve as a common point for monitoring both medical gas system parameters and selected external technical data.
Event Logging for Easier Troubleshooting
Beyond real-time monitoring, the C1-T1 also provides comprehensive event logging.
Alarm history and system events are automatically recorded, giving technical teams access to previous incidents and operating events. This information can assist with troubleshooting by providing a clearer record of what occurred and when.
Combining current operating information with recorded events creates a more complete view of system behavior and can support more structured technical follow-up.
Designed for Integration into Healthcare Facilities
The C1-T1 combines advanced monitoring functionality with a compact and modern design, allowing it to be integrated into clinical and technical environments without requiring unnecessary space.
The system is also designed for straightforward installation. It can be customized in advance according to project requirements and is fully compatible with G. Samaras products, simplifying its integration into new or existing installations.
This adaptability is particularly important in healthcare projects, where each facility may have different infrastructure, equipment configurations and monitoring requirements.
The system can integrate unlimited devices and parameters, from local control panels and alarm L6/L9 to compressors, and communicate bidirectionally with the hospital's BMS.
A Clearer View of Medical Gas Infrastructure
The main value of the C1-T1 Alarm Touch Panel lies in bringing critical information together in one accessible environment.
Real-time monitoring, visual and audible alarms, customized mimic diagrams, event logging and flexible communication interfaces provide technical personnel with the tools needed to supervise connected systems more effectively.
For G. Samaras S.A., the C1-T1 represents an important part of a broader approach to modern medical gas infrastructure, where reliable equipment is supported by intelligent monitoring and communication technologies.
By providing centralized access to operational data and system events, the C1-T1 helps create medical gas installations that are easier to monitor, easier to manage and better aligned with the requirements of modern healthcare facilities.
